What happens

The Joulukalenteri (combination of English word "The" and Finnish word for "Christmas Calendar") is a 1997 Finnish television miniseries produced by MTV3 that has been broadcast again several times. It was based on the Danish series The Julekalender from 1991. A Norwegian version was made in 1994. The series came out in December 1997 with one episode per day, concluding on Christmas Eve. The original concept and script of the series, as well as its numerous songs came from the Danish trio of De Nattergale (Carsten Knudsen, Uffe Rørbæk Madsen and Viggo Sommer). The Finnish adaptation was directed by Jukka Virtanen and starred Seppo Korjus, Kari Lehtomäki, Raimo Smedberg and Jukka Virtanen. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
